EUGENIO SUÁREZ NEWS

Third homer from leadoff spot Suarez homered for the third time this week Sunday against the Cubs, batting again out of the leadoff spot.

Impact Suarez hit a monster shot off of Jake Arrieta to extend the Reds' lead to 4-0, which was more than enough in support of Tyler Mahle. Once the Reds get Joey Votto and Mike Moustakas back from the IL, Suarez might not remain in the leadoff spot, but it's agreed with him so far.

Day off Friday Suarez is out of the lineup Friday against the Cubs.

Impact Suarez started the past 25 games and will receive the day off for Friday's series opener. Kyle Farmer will work at shortstop while Max Schrock starts at the hot corner.

Homers again out of leadoff spot Suarez went 1-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run and an additional run scored in Thursday's win over the Nationals.

Impact Thursday marked Suarez's third straight game in the leadoff spot for Cincinnati. He has taken well to the table-setting role, notching four hits in his last three games, including two home runs. After opening the year as the Reds' starting shortstop, Suarez has been playing third base exclusively, and there's some hope that increased comfort in the field leads to more comfort for Suarez in the batter's box.

Gets another spin in leadoff role Suarez will lead off and man third base Wednesday against the Nationals, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Suarez's .228 on-base percentage and average speed wouldn't seem to make him a logical fit for the leadoff gig, but manager David Bell appears content to give the 29-year-old a trial in the role while the team remains without three everyday players (Joey Votto, Nick Senzel and Mike Moustakas) due to injury. In his career start out of the leadoff spot in Tuesday's 2-1 win, Suarez struck out three times, but he connected on a pivotal solo home run off Max Scherzer in the sixth inning.

Socks 10th homer Suarez went 1-for-4 with a home run in Tuesday's win over the Nationals.

Impact Suarez launched his 10th homer of the season off Max Scherzer in the sixth, but that would be everything he'd contribute to the win -- he struck out in each of his other three at-bats. The veteran has reached double-digit long balls for the seventh year in a row, though he isn't contributing much in other categories -- he owns a .150 average with a meager .586 OPS.

Swats ninth homer Suarez went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, two runs scored and a walk Thursday against the Giants.

Impact Suarez belted his ninth home run of the season in the eighth inning off Jose Alvarez. Though he entered the game with only four hits in his last 28 at-bats, Suarez has started to show power by recording six of his long balls in his last 18 contests. To fully return to form, Suarez will have to lower his 32.6 percent strikeout rate, which has limited his line to .157/.236/.365 to this point in the campaign.

Clubs key double in extras Suarez went 2-for-5 with a three-RBI double during Wednesday's win against the Pirates.

Impact The 29-year-old cleared the bases with a double to deep center field during the top of the 10th inning to give the Reds a 5-1 lead. Suarez recently found himself in an 0-for-14 slump, but he's responded by going 5-for-13 with a homer, a double and four RBI over the past three games.

Impact Suarez went 1-for-4 with two strikeouts in the game and is hitting .134/.224/.319 still, so it's hardly as if he's broken out yet. Nonetheless, this was a promising at-bat during an all-around good day for the Reds.

Launches fifth homer Suarez went 3-for-5 with a homer and three RBI in Sunday's 13-12 win over the Cubs.

Impact Suarez knocked his fifth home run of the year with a solo shot in the third inning before singling in a pair of runs in the sixth. The 29-year-old entered Sunday in a 1-for-31 slump over his last eight games and hadn't produced a multi-hit performance since April 10. He's up to 12 RBI and nine extra-base hits through 101 at-bats this season.

Socks fourth homer Suarez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 8-6 win over the Cubs.

Impact The slugger came into the game having gone 0-for-23 over his prior six games, but Suarez snapped the skid with a fourth-inning blast off Jake Arrieta. His shaky defensive adjustment to playing shortstop may be affecting him at the plate, and Suarez finishes April with a woeful .130 batting average, four homers and nine RBI through 24 games.

Impact "I think there's something to that, actually. I think playing a new position and the fact that it's shortstop, he's had to put so much of his focus and so much of his energy on that position," Bell said before Sunday's game at St. Louis. Suarez looked particularly lost Friday night when he struck out four times, including looking to end the game.

Takes seat for day game Suarez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates.

Impact Suarez appears to be getting some routine maintenance with the Reds concluding their homestand Wednesday with a day game. Kyle Farmer checks in at shortstop for Suarez, who has fallen into a 1-for-15 rut at the dish over the last four games since homering in the April 1 season opener.

Homers after two errors in field Suarez went 1-for-3 with two walks, a solo home run and a strikeout in Thursday's loss to the Cardinals.

Impact The decision to play Suarez at shortstop almost immediately backfired; he made a fielding error in the first inning and a throwing error in the second, compounding Luis Castillo's issues on the mound. Suarez later went yard against Jack Flaherty and he does look slimmer, but it's anyone's guess how long this experiment at shortstop will last, and the early returns cast some doubt on his ability to gain extra eligibility in-season.

Confirmed as everyday shortstop Suarez was confirmed as the Reds' everyday shortstop by Reds general manager Nick Krall on Saturday, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact The Reds' shortstop options entering camp made for a very uninspiring group, so they decided to get creative. Suarez has made just two starts at shortstop in the past five seasons, but he did begin his career at the position and evidently did enough this spring to prove he can handle the role. He should be able to pick up shortstop eligibility in most formats very early in the season, giving a bit of added flexibility to fantasy teams.
